can it work??? yes... (but you might very well burn an expensive pack up..)
do you want to do this?? no....
pay the 50 bucks for the intellipeak bro... trust me on this one... it is worth every single penny... (especially if you burn up just one pack on an el' cheapo, that would be enough to pay for the intellipeak)
peace out.... :)

oic.. LOL... in that case... go for it... LOL....
it should take at least 30 minutes for it to charge off your el'cheapo.... but you will need to monitor the pack temp every couple minutes the entire time....
once it feels "slightly warm" or "warm" to the touch, turn off the charger.... if it feels "pretty warm" or "hot" to the touch, you have let it charge too long... (gotta love all these scientific terms... LOL)
btw... i really really don't recommend this method... a decent peak charger is the way to go...
peace out.... :)
